Real Kobe beef? Kobe beef is very rare outside of Japan. The standards used to label beef Kobe in the United States and other countries is different than it is in Japan. What you order in restaurants and buy at the grocery store is often not real Kobe. I ask this because I'd love to get my hands on some actual Kobe beef. Had some in Japan and it was amazing, expensive, but delicious.

x2....there is little chance that the US has actual Kobe beef. Its grown "like" the real deal, but its not true Kobe. Thats why I will NEVER fall for that "Kobe burger" bullshit at any restaurant again
